Memorial Day Remembrance

Sunday afternoon a special ceremony was held to honor some ofGeorgia's oldest veterans.

The remembrance was for Savannah's Volunteer Guards who fought at Saylers Creek, West Virginia during the Civil War. Historians and descendant's of these veterans came to LaurelGroveCemetery to pay their respects and to make sure these soldiers are not forgotten. Rick Phillips a member of the 8th Georgia re-enacting group said "everyone needs to recognize these soldiers fought for what they believed in. They're all heroes, both people who fought for the North and the South. We're here to honor our heroes and ancestors."

A wreath was placed in honor of the guardsman. The re-enactors marched into the ceremony and played taps in remembrance of all those who lost their lives.

A group of more than 50 pastors in Savannah hopes the families of murder victims can help them create positive change in the city’s violent crime. The Savannah Alliance of Pastors is holding that meeting and a prayer vigil next week.
